I began this silk dupioni dress using Vogue pattern V8511. I drew a pattern of vines and leaves on the side front fashion fabric pieces with chalk. I laid a piece of satin beneith the dupioni and zig zagged over my chalk lines. I then removed the fabric inside the leaf patterns. I completed the dress as described on the pattern sheet.

Josefly writes: Lovely job. You chose a beautiful fabric for this dress, crisper than the "suggested fabrics" on the pattern, but which works beautifully with this skirt. I wonder what a drapier fabric would do, like the lightweight jersey or crepe recommended. I like your simple, elegant embellishment, attractively placed. The binding on sleeves and neckline is nicely done. Thanks for sharing it with us. Posted: 10:18 am on February 17th

(One thought: a dress this chic deserves an equally glamorous belt.) Keep up the good work. Posted: 8:34 pm on February 11th
